National Approach towards SDG Monitoring of Human Settlement Indicators: Tanzanian Case First Technical meeting on Human Settlements Indicators for SDGs: Assessing gaps in the production of human settlement Indicators Naivasha - Kenya 13 to 17 February 2017 Prepared and Presented by: Irenius Ruyobya; National Bureau of Statistics - Tanzania
National Approach towards SDG Monitoring of Human Settlement Indicators: Tanzanian Case
Outline of the Presentation • Role of the National Bureau of Statistics • Current Status of the National Approach Towards SDG Monitoring • Source of data related to human settlement; • Challenges from MDG Monitoring; and • Current status. • Challenges • Way Forward • Conclusion
Role of the NBS in Relation to SDG Monitoring • Coordination Role • Coordinator of the National Statistical System; and • “Coordination” with other stakeholders outside the National Statistical System. • 2. Awareness • Two SDG workshops have been conducted: • Awareness and ownership among stakeholders (2015); and • Building partnership among stakeholders on the need for developing a National Data Roadmap (2016) • 3. Linking SDG with National Development Programmes and other international Agendas e.g. Agenda 2063 -Africa We Want
Source of Data • Population Census: After every 10 years Collected information include: • Demographic; • Housing amenities (water, sanitation and energy); • Housing conditions (building materials); and • Security of tenure. • Periodic household sample surveys e.g. DHS, Income and Expenditure Surveys, Panel Surveys etc.; • Administrative Records: Others Government Ministries, Departments, UN –Organizations etc.(including UNHABITAT).
Publications related to Human Settlement Indicators • Basic Facts and Figures on Human Settlements • Overview of Human Settlements; • Population Dynamics, Land Use; • Housing Characteristics and Facilities; • Infrastructure and Services; • Good Governance and Accountability (crime, accidents statistics); • Safe Cities • Publication is updated regularly depending on availability of new data. • 2. Some information on human settlement is published in each census/survey report.
Challenges from 2015 MDG Monitoring • Data Gaps: Non-availability of data for some indicators (especially at lower levels); • Frequency (long interval) of data collection from surveys constrained tracking of progress; • Capacity of national statistical office to collect, analyse and disseminate information lacked in some cases; • The statistical capacity for effective monitoring of MDGs, establishing statistical standards and ensuring quality generally lacked; • MDGs failed to serve as a management tool and as a report card. This was a result of data coming with huge lag.
Current Status of the National Approach Towards SDGs Monitoring • 1. Map data ecosystem • Tanzania Data Report: Assessment of Tanzania Data Ecosystem in connection with SDG implementation and monitoring • Establish current data gaps; • Mapping of stakeholders. • Development of a Work plan; and • Budget for data production for the coming 15 years. • Linkage (mainstreaming) with National Development Programme & International Agendas • Five Year National Development Plan; and • Africa Development Agenda 2063.
Current Status ….. Cont’d • 3. Mapping exercise: Use of Advanced Data Planning Tool – ADAPT: Mapping of available data • Main Observations • Some indicators overlap with Tanzania Dev. Vision of 2025, • Some indicators go beyond the Tanzania Dev. Vision of 2025. • NSS has capacity to monitor some of the indicators; and • Other indicators need considerable technical and financial support • Establishment of thematic SDG data working groups • NBS in collaboration with Ministry of Lands and Human Settlements and Local Government is planning to conduct a survey on Housing Profile in Tanzanian cities and towns.
Current Status ….. Cont’d 5. Development of SDG and National Development Programme Platform • Making data more easily accessible for government, development partners and civil society • Enable collaboration with different stakeholders around data generation NBS is developing a strong SDGs monitoring platform based on open data, which will quickly show data gaps and implementation challenges.
Current Status ….. Cont’d • Achievements (Open Data Platform) • The Open Data management guideline in place • Establishment of open data portal (www.opendata.go.tz), - Water, Heath and Education Sector • 100 approved datasets published in the portal • Provision of technical and data dive training • Draft Open Data Policy and Implementation Strategy in place
Challenges: Monitoring of SDGs • Data issues: timeliness, disaggregation and methodological issues • Timeliness: Some information e.g. from the Census updated after 10 years; • Disaggregation: This is going to be a major issues especially at sub-national level; and • Methodological issues: unclear methodology and concept for some indicators. • National Priorities Vs International Development Agenda • SDGs indicators that do not map one-to-one with National development programmes are going to pose a special challenge. 4. Multiple systems for follow-up, monitoring and evaluation 5. Mobilisation of Financial Resources to fill data gaps 6. Inadequate Decentralization and Localization of National Priorities
Conclusion and Way Forward • Strengthen routine data collection, analysis and dissemination; • Transformation Agenda: Use of big data to complement other traditional sources; • Capacity strengthening in Data Management, curation and dissemination for MDAs and Local Government Authorities; • Strengthen partnership between traditional and non-traditional producers of statistics; and • Raise awareness among sector stakeholders about SDGs and what exactly is to be monitored.
Conclusion and Way Forward • Monitoring of SDGs cannot be done by National Statistical Offices alone; • New data sources need to be explored to fill data need and gaps; • Capacity building at NSO and other key players – traditional and non-traditional – is essential for effective monitoring; • Vast amount of data is needed which means that huge amount of resources are needed for data collection.
